Shave-caddy

Abstract

This invention is a dual cavity unit constructed in one of two different sizes to snugly store either a can of shaving cream or a can of shaving gel together with a manual shaving razor. Said invention is constructed primarily of neoprene or any other malleable material which has some amount of elasticity and is resistant to water, but not impervious. It is important to the invention that the material is resistant to the effects of water because it is intended to be used near water and in wet environments. It is also important that the material not be impervious to the effects of water in order to have planned obsolescence and generate repeat sales in the future. Further, the main advantage of this invention is the soft, pliable, and/or padded material used to construct it. The first cavity is a cylindrical tube which is open at the top and closed at the bottom and is constructed in one of two different sizes to snugly hold either a traditional can of shaving cream or a narrower can typically used to contain shaving gel. The second cavity is a loop which is open at the top, and can be either open or closed at the bottom, and is attached to the side of the first cavity using stitching, adhesive, or any other durable method of attachment of the two components.
